John Lineker, from Paraná, is the best-qualified Brazilian in the UFC flyweight division rankings, ranking fifth. However for Demetrious Johnson, champion of the category, the Tupiniquim athlete does not deserve to be part of the list of Ultimate fighters.
Johnson harshly criticized the Brazilian, who despite four victories in a row, failed to make the weight limit in three of his five appearances in the octagon.
“I'm a fighter and if it (the fight against Lineker) happens, it happens, and the fact is that he didn't make weight three times, but he's still in the UFC. There’s nothing I can do, if it were up to me I would have cut him,” said the champion during a question and answer session with fans before UFC on FOX 10.
